Example photos

Reach (approx — verify on Maps for your stay address):

From Parque de la 93 / Usaquén toward El Retiro de San Juan (Calle 212 / Arrayanes): often ~25–50+ min Uber north on Autopista Norte (traffic-dependent — budget buffer before 3:00 pm start).
From El Dorado (BOG): often ~40–70+ min depending on traffic.
From La Candelaria: long northbound ride — poor base for wedding nights.

Suggested stay: Final plan — Chico 97 / Parque 93 booked (free cancel to 17 Aug). Research trail: Stays → Bogotá.

Schedule (from Zola)¶

Thu 20 Aug 2026 — Welcome Event¶


Time	5:00 pm – 10:00 pm (Zola) · guest-group note: evening from ~5:30 pm, casual
Place	TBD, Bogotá
Dress	Smart casual & cozy

Bogotá evenings can be cool — smart casual with warm layers (jackets, blazers, knits, comfortable shoes). Relaxed but polished.

Host WhatsApp (late Jul): daytime optional tourism with whoever’s free (Candelaria walk / museum / Monserrate) before the evening Welcome Event — like the group message to join.

Le serate a Bogotá possono essere fresche, quindi consigliamo uno stile smart casual con capi caldi. Outfit comodi ma curati, come giacche, blazer, maglieria e scarpe confortevoli. L’obiettivo è sentirsi a proprio agio e godersi la serata.

Planning note: this is an evening block, not an all-day lock — daytime Thu 20 is free for museums / rest; skip evening dance that night.
